Auf seinem neuen Album wartet der Pianist Stephen Hough wieder mit einer intelligenten Zusammenstellung auf. Nach zwei kühnen Klavierwerken Mozarts widmet er sich im zweiten Teil der CD ausschließlich von Mozart inspirierten Stücken. Abgerundet wird die CD durch drei schrullige »Mozart Transformations« von Hough selbst. Eine CD voller Überraschungen, nicht nur für Mozart-Fans!

Product-Information:

We are delighted to present an eagerly awaited recital disc from Stephen Hough. This fascinating programme begins with some of Mozart’s most audacious and forward-looking piano works. Mozart’s Fantasia in C minor K475 is a wonderfully unfettered and uninhibited work, suffused with high drama and a sense of constantly shifting moods. The Piano Sonata in B flat major K333 is a similarly ground-breaking piece, developing in scale and drama from its lyrical, gentle opening. The second part of the disc features Mozart as seen by others, from the homage of a near-contemporary right up to the modern day, with Hough’s own irresistibly quirky Mozart imaginings, and from elegant miniatures to Liszt / Busoni’s virtuosic Figaro Fantasy. This disc is full of surprises, and demonstrates the full range of Hough’s extraordinary artistry.

Rezensionen

'A new record from Stephen Hough is always something to look foward to, and A Mozart Album is no exception … Altogether an outsanding disc released by Hyperion' (Liverpool Daily Post)

'[Hough] is certainly one of today's most thoughtful and thought-provoking pianists, as his latest thematic Hyperion set underscores … playing with a mix of depth and detail that only the best pianists achieve … he connects kindred spirits in a witty, lovely way' (Star Ledger, USA)

'Hough's Mozart playing is so fresh, so sensitive to the harmonic twists and the way the prase can simultaneously suggest different feelings … This 2006 Keener and Eadon production from St George's, Bristol, is impeccably presented, with a congenial note by Harriet Smith' (International Piano magazine)

'We look forward to Hough's recordings. They are never disappointing, and this one is a classic. With excellent engineering and Harriet Smith's very informative notes, only those who do not value great pianism can afford to miss it' (American Record Guide)
